USA Bulk Water Exports

Well, it is nice to know that they do have some resources worth exporting.

There are a few things I don't understand about this (ie, why don't they ship it to Nevada, California, New Mexico and Arizona) and more importantly, why they wouldn't build a pipeline across the Bering Straight - but those minor annoyances aside I have one word to say.

Bravo.

The biggest threat to the mushrooming human civilization is the lack of water in the third world. While they are selling it (I would give it away, and use the CIDA money to pay for it) it is a remarkably important step to understanding the real problems in the third world.

I have always believed that access to clean drinking water is more than a human right - it is a planetary right. We should be doing this too. And Maude Barlow can kiss my can.
